PCA Ratio

REF: 5546

Intended use

The PCA Ratio Kit is a clot based assay used in determination of resistance to activated Protein C caused by Factor V Leiden mutation. This APTT based assay creates a clotting time ratio of PCA.APTT/APTT which determines APC resistance.

Main features

  • Activates endogenous Protein C (using Protac®)
  • Excellent discrimination between APC resistant and normal samples
  • Superior result discrimination compared to traditional APC methods
  • Compatible with all instrumentation capable of carrying out APTT assays
  • Negates Lupus and Heparin interference
